What a treat! 🌭 After two of our chefs spotted the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile out in the wild and left a note, the Hotdoggers surprised us with a visit to Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital. Patients and team members got to step inside, snap photos and enjoy a special drive-by lap for those who couldn’t come downstairs. We’re so grateful for moments like these and for a community that always finds ways to spread joy! 💛
